24:17 Share

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. In this episode, we connect with UK-born, Netherlands-based music producer Simon Sixsmith, the creative force behind the cinematic jazz collective Black Gold 360. Speaking from his studio in the Netherlands, Simon dives into the making of the band’s fifth album, At the Still Point of the Turning World, set for release on May 1, 2025.

This new project marks a bold evolution for the group—venturing into electric territory with the inclusion of Fender Rhodes, bass guitar, and electric guitar to create a deeper, groove-driven, filmic jazz sound. With gritty 1970s influences and touches of snake-hipped electronica, the album captures the band’s unique ability to merge sonic storytelling with jazz experimentation.

We explore Simon’s lifelong passion for music, his innovative production process, and the journey that brought Black Gold 360 to this creative milestone. It's a rich conversation for jazz fans and music lovers alike.
